Plaque is not toxic, it is food particles around your teeth that wasn't brushed away. No side effects if ingested. Brush after every meal.

Plaque is a combination of bacteria and food debris. Left in place on teeth it causes infection(s) (tooth decay/gum disease). If swallowed it is destroyed by stomach acids and enzymes. Brushing 2 full minutes 2x/day and flossing 1x/day, combined with twice yearly professional dental examinations/clea in gs, greatly reduces infection risk.
